The Aerospace Rotatives Marking Cell delivers exact standards through robotic controlled programming and the company’s unmatched vision systems. Automation of component marking reduces time and costs; robotic control is key. This is integrated into Pryor’s software and every detailed move is programmable. The company’s vision systems are used to guide the robots to execute marking automatically and at predefined locations which removes operator errors.
Visitors to the stand will see a demonstration featuring robotic marking of large rotative aerospace components.
“The Paris Airshow provides us with the perfect platform to showcase our marking and traceability solutions designed specifically for the aerospace industry,” says Pryor sales director, Alastair Morris. “As a UK company with a French subsidiary, our Paris-based colleagues are looking forward to explaining our technology to show visitors. We understand the challenges faced by the aerospace industry and can offer many solutions.”
The company has a strong wealth of knowledge and experience in aerospace marking. Their software and hardware can be set to mark against the requirements of many international standards such as ATA, A4A, US Department of Defence and AIM-DPM.
“For some time now, we have been establishing firm relationships with European based aerospace component manufacturers and this has encouraged us to exhibit in Paris,” explains company group sales manager, Howard Maher. “Judging from stand visitor interest at the last Farnborough Airshow, we are expecting strong interest in our much-expanded vacuum brazing and plasma nitriding services.”
The company is in Pod 10 of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance stand, which is located in the British Pavilion.
With an enviable reputation in ultra-hard PVD coatings, the company will also be championing its range of Nadcap-approved Nitron Flight coatings for aerospace that can offer up to 33 times improved life on specific components. Nitron Flight significantly contributes to reducing life cost ownership, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and more.
Following on from the 2017 acquisition of the Metaltech business, Wallwork has now established the processes of Xylan Fluoropolymer coatings and Molybdenum Disulphide dry film lubricants at other Group locations.
Another area of investment has been additional capacity for the processing of aluminium and magnesium components.
A strong service ethic backed by highly-skilled metallurgists and skilled surface engineers along with full laboratory and substantial in-house testing facilities, enables the company to provide a quality service to aerospace component manufacturers with speedy order turnaround times.
Underpinned by guaranteed uptimes (up to 96%) and lowest piece part costs, whether the need is for a large-capacity Ecospeed 5-axis machining centre or the smaller capacity 5-axis Heckert 500 X and STC 800 X machining centres - and including the dedicated blade (LX) and blisk (NB) machines - Starrag says it has unrivalled expertise in meeting all machining demands in the most cost-effective and productive manner.
With a vast product range of machines available under the Starrag brand, including Berthiez, Bumotec, Dörries, Droop+Rein, Ecospeed, Heckert, Scharmann, SIP and Starrag, as well as a lead in Industry 4.0 strategies, the Starrag stand will be manned by like-minded experts who have only one thing on their minds – ‘Engineering precisely what you value’.
